I too was saddened about the passing of Xalir, though it brought questions to my mind of other writers who gave me great enjoyment in the past, as well as helping encourage me in my own writing efforts. I'm now 72 and have serious mobility problems, as well as declining mental facilities. Some weeks I can barely function enough to go to the bathroom and I have a live-in aide who helps make my life at least tolerable.
Anyway, my primary point of this Blog is that I would like to know the current status of writers such as Warlord, Cmsix, Duel Writer, Morgan, Wes Boyd, Alistair Acorn, Tallorder64, Argon, Lazlong and so many others who have seemed to fade into the sunset.
